Not sure if there are other metal heads here, but Slayer is doing a farewell tour. I'm all over that. What a lineup. Thats cool.
I saw them in 08 here in Denmark at Roskilde festival. It was pretty great. Although my memory might be somewhat coloured by being 20 at the time, very drunk and a big fan.
Haha, very nice. Yeah, I've seen them a couple times. I got to attend one of the Big Four shows. That was amazing. I wish I had drunk a bit less the last time I saw Metallica. I don't remember the back half of the show as well as I'd like. That was more because I was distracted, not blacked out, mind you, but the alcohol certainly fed into that.

Red Sox tickets can be pricey, but it's very much a supply and demand thing... season ticket holders often sell on lousy opponents like the White Sox. Ah, I see...well, we're not baseball aficionados or anything, so we don't care who the Red Sox are playing. We just wanna go see some baseball because, you know...it's what them Americans do. If you're into that sorta thing, there's also Plymouth PLantation (set as the 1630s town).. that's on Cape Cod.. heading toward where the beaches are. Yeah, we're both kinda in our history, so I think aa trip to Plymouth Rock and the plantation might be in order. There's also Old Sturbridge Village, which is set up as an 1830s new England town.. it's probably a hour ride west of Boston, but pretty cool if you like history. OK, that sounds interesting. I'll check it out online. The big city out in the western part of the state is Worchester (pronounced Wooster), which is mostly pretty run down, but has a great comic book store: www.thatse.com/ THey're basically a full old school comic book store with TONS of $1 boxes and back issues, AND a board game store... and a baseball card store all in one. The same guy also owns a used record/CD store that's right next door. I lived near there right after college, and for several years after I moved still made the weekly trek out there. Good to know.

Not sure if they're as accessible in Boston, but in Cleveland there are multiple lower tier teams that you can see for next to nothing, and they put on a good show. Stadiums are new and clean, and the teams are good -- just not Major League.

We have the Portland Sea Dogs in Maine and also the Cape Cod League, the best college baseball league in the country. Unfortunately, the CCBL won't be starting till about a week after Confessor heads back, but Portalnd will be playing.

Yeah, if you're a baseball fan the're probably not too many other places that are better to be than New England if you're looking to catch a game.

Pulled out my copies of Twomorrows Back Issue Magazine. I have the first 70 issues though I haven’t actually read all of them. Leafing through them it seems like a good springboard for reading some 70s and 80s comics.

Local creator Adam Fields(whose stuff I have hyped several times here) just posted this commission he did, and I adore and wish I had thought of something like it... Snoopy & Woodstock as Thor 7 Valkyrie. Love it! -M

Take it easy. Literally. Pneumonia is serious business. You may need a couple of weeks before you really feel like yourself again. Don't try to go at 100 percent right away. You still will need your rest, Jesse . Take it from one who knows...
